This is the World Cup that keeps on giving unexpected results. While we have seen the likes of Germany, Argentina and Portugal get knocked out of the competition, another big team fell in the round of 16, Spain.
The Spanish did have their own problems before the tournament after they sacked Julen Lopetegui but they met their demise against a plucky Russia side.
One of the most hated players by most of the Liverpool faithful, Sergio Ramos, celebrated the opening goal of the game but it was an own goal by a Russian.
The hosts were given a lifeline when Gerard Pique’s raised arm blocked the ball and Artem Dzyuba made no mistake by making it 1-1 for the hosts.
Extra time could not separate the teams and it went to penalties, which saw Russia progress to the quarterfinals.
While we got to see the final international game of a legend in Andres Iniesta, a lot of our fans were happy that Ramos got knocked out, given what he did to Mohamed Salah in the Champions League final.
Twitter was flooded with comments on the Spain captain and here are some of the best responses.
When Ramos cries, we all smile.
